A Good Beginners Razor

[Gadge80]

Hi all,

I hope Im ok to post this... it's more of a question than advertising my sale.

I'm selling this razor on ebay.

But someone has asked if it would be a good razor for a beginner.
I've directed them to the SRP in the hope that someone here can help him out, but was curious myself as I know little about Wusthof razors, just snippets of info from Google.

Thanks in advance.

This questions comes up a lot. I would say that as long as it's proper shaving sharp then yes. Hollow grounds tend to be a little more forgiving of mistakes due to the flex in the blade. Nice razor BTW!

Thats ok, I know for sure that it's not shave ready.
I have told him this, but there are quite a few guys here who will get it up to standard for a few quid, so I've sent him in SRP direction.
Hopefully he'll find his answer here.

Thanks again.
